Rest, Recovery & Mobility: Restoration to a former or better condition PART II
What is recovery?
Recovery allows the body to replenish its energy stores, we can’t be on full throttle 100% of the time, even though it may feel like it! The way I approach training is use the High Intensity Vs Low Intensity Method.
Let me be clear before I continue, HIGH intensity does not mean thrashing yourself in the gym or within the home training program until you verge on passing out. High intensity could be anything that overly taxes the body, for some it could be a 5k run, for others a 2.5-hour walk. It could include an intense yoga session. It is all relative. When these types of high intensity bouts occur, we know we aren’t able to sustain that effort without adequate, planned rest or recovery.
Rest and recovery could mean a gentle walk, where you can chat easily to a friend. It could mean going for an easy swim or moving in a move gentle way. This is what the program does below. These videos show you a sequence of low intensity sessions so your muscle tissues can repair.
We often forget how much we need recovery sessions until it’s too late. If you schedule these sessions in during your week, particularly after high intensity training sessions, it will help you retain your energy levels at work and at home! You will also be able to find an elevated level of training during your next high intensity session. Schedule in where it is you need to go, book in that recovery session and watch your progress soar!
